The college football transfer portal has officially opened. It will be open from January 2-16. For Michigan football and new head coach Kyle Whittingham, it's a critical moment.

Whittingham said in his opening press conference that player retention was the most important item on his agenda. He's got most of his coaching staff hired, outside of hiring a linebackers and secondary coach.

The biggest name to know is Bryce Underwood. All eyes will be on the No. 1 overall quarterback from the 2025 class, who started all 13 games for Michigan football this past season.
